[footpump]

hi all just joined Halfords website, under electric bikes they have freego raptor.
which they order from ebikes direct its single speed 5.5ah 24v 2 year battery warrenty and about 30lbs £500

I have seen the raptor mentioned before but I cannot see what the gearing is , or how many levels of assist there are

thank you

the Raptor is a single speed.
Fron the pictures, it looks like 16T (R)/45T (F) to me.

46 T front from counting teeth between two mounting bolts and times five
16 on the back looks about right.

I hate the horizontal dropouts on the Raptor.

I took delivery of mine yesterday! I went for the two battery model and have just returned from a little jaunt.
This is my first experience of pedelecs and as I expected it does require a little readjustment. I'm used to a very light 18 speed part carbon Trek hybrid and although I'm no cyclist, can get along at a fair pace (given the right conditions) On the Raptor there is a pronounced "cut-off" at the limit and it's odd to try to push it beyond that on a hill or even the flat. I think I will have to adjust to the limit and just enjoy the ride.
One surprise was the tyres. I was expecting some 700 X 32 hybrid style tyres but they are 700 X 25 and pretty slick.
I realise that the Raptor is a "light assistance" bike but though it would climb moderate hills better? Perhaps 16 stone is a bit much for 200W

Strange how someone can review a product, talk about ease of battery change, yet miss very basic attention to detail and finish.

Out of interest why did you change from your Trek to an electric bike?

My commute has changed from less than 2 miles each way to 9.5. It's reasonably flat but my knees have suffered from carrying around too much weight! I still have the Trek and hope to still use it, but the freego will probably become the daily workhorse.
